You can let the market appreciate over time, force it by rehab or use down payment - usually a combination of all of them, but with 0% equity I don't even know if I'd call that an investment.For a portfolio 50% to 75% is sensibel leverage, if you fall below that you are leaving money and opportunity on the table, if you go above you are redlineing on the risk scale, thats not sustainable for long.

Ideally the Midwest7, DO NOT BUY TURNKEY PROPERTIES( you will be leaving so much money on the table)8.

A good attorney and title company will be able to help you figure out what needs to legally be done to get the deal to the table.

I’m new to real estate investing and want to learn more from others who’ve been in the game longer.

We have chatted about pursuing properties together so that we each are able to bring funds to the table as well as accelerate the process as we work together.

So while I can move fast, I think the most important thing is bringing funds to the table when you've committed to do so.  

Hey Mikai, Never heard of it or used it, many other services have come along into the commercial space before like tenX or something was one for a while and then I think costar just buys them, so they are really the big guys in the game and they really have the best data so not sure what the hellodata can do but costar is pretty legit.

I saw your intro and really liked how you’re leaning deeper into the capital side — that’s an area a lot of investors need clarity with right now.I work closely with investors myself, especially in small multifamily and value-add deals, so I’m always looking to build solid relationships with people who bring real knowledge to the table.

He has no skin in the game. 

Congrats on getting into the Game!
